We booked Rocklea based on it's location (distance from the lake) and the great reviews.It truly exceeded our expectations.The location was far better than we could have ever imagined - close to Windermere village (3 minute walk) but far away enough for it to be perfectly peaceful.It was about a 20 minute walk away from Bowness and this was perfect for us.Our room was spacious, clean, beautifully decorated and had the comfiest bed with tea/coffee/hot chocolate and biscuits replenished every day.The breakfasts each morning were fantastic - a full English cooked to perfection and adapted in any way to suit you, a selection of cereals, pastries, fresh fruit and yogurts.We really looked forward to our breakfasts!Finally, the hosts were all you could ever hope for and more.Ian was always about if we needed him and was very friendly, attentive and full of great advice about the local area.Thank you both so much for a wonderful, much-needed, peaceful break away! We'll definitely be staying again. - Emma C
I took my Mom to the Lake District to celebrate her 50th birthday and Rocklea provided the perfect home for us for our 3-night stay. Our room was wonderful and spacious, including two chairs, overlooking the bay window, plenty of floor space, a nice big comfy bed and large ensuite bathroom with shower. The breakfast was absolutely lovely, with loads of fresh fruit, yoghurts, granola, cereals and on top of this a cooked breakfast. The atmosphere at Rocklea was very relaxing and it felt very homey whilst still feeling like we were being treat to something special. Ian and Lynn were so lovely and very approachable, and really went the extra mile to ensure we were well catered for. Rocklea is only a short walk from Windermere town and the train station, and around a 15-20 min walk from the lake at Bowness. I'd definitely recommend a stay here, and we hope to be back again soon! - Natasha R
